I love how these people can never just make up one thing; they have to spin an insane web of lies where everything is a conspiracy and everyone is out to get them.

Yes, clearly we are all being sterilized by corn, and this is why the global population is suddenly decreasing so rapidly, right. :rolleye:

These things are always a bit silly, but this guy lives in the same city I do... Toronto. Not exactly a challenge.

I get the feeling they might be posting this facetiously.

Yeah, that's true. Maybe I should make one along the lines of "Name a continent with the letter 'a' in it! 96% of people can't!"

My local social justice keyboard warrior shared this:

You know, I'm honestly with the SJWs all the way on sexism, racism, transphobia, classism, etc. These are important issues that need to be fixed. But introverts being an oppressed group? loving parents? Give me a break. In what possible universe are "people who have children" an underprivileged minority?

Remember, folks, if you have any sort of problem at all with the way Israel is handing the Gaza situation, you're literally condoning rocket attacks against civilians and also you're a racist! :downs:

But look what a progressive shining example of tolerance I am. :smug:

Thankfully the person who posted this is already not my friend, so I don't have to go to the trouble of deleting him.

(I've got some blindly pro-Palestine idiots on my news feed too, but I couldn't help but share this wall o' text. People on both sides of this thing are making themselves look like morons.)

This was shared by a childhood friend of mine, who is generally a pretty good guy, but he is - how to put this kindly - maybe a tiny bit ignorant about the wider world outside of the town where he lives.

I've had discussions with him about this sort of thing before, and he doesn't seem to realize/care that being hugely anti-immigration because of "all the Pakis coming to mooch off our tax money" is hugely racist and xenophobic and makes him look like an absolute rear end in a top hat

. But he grew up listening to his hugely racist and xenophobic dad talk like that, and since our community was like 99.99% white, he never really had the chance to examine those beliefs. I think he's starting to come around now that he's taking a college course and has become friends with one of his classmates who is, you guessed it, a first-generation Pakistani immigrant. I just need him to now make the connection between "hey this one guy is pretty cool" and "hey maybe then that entire group of people probably is composed of a bunch of individuals who are probably also pretty cool".

(Also, we live in dirty socialist Canada, so I know there are programs and services in place to, say, provide medications to elderly people who can't afford it. I also don't think he realizes that the image he shared was made by/for Americans.)

Free speech means I get to say whatever I want, wherever and whenever I want, with no consequences, and if you disagree with me about anything then you're literally infringing on my rights!

CrossFit, also known as "going to the gym isn't dangerous enough; how can we fix that? (Also how can we make people never shut up about CrossFit?)"

Someone asked the CrossFitter how they managed to cut themselves while doing a lift:

quote:

I was doing overhead squat on a squat rack and had to drop the weight. I was stupid and threw my hand under the bar to stabilize it. My finger ended up between the bar and the squat rack. Luckily no bones broken, just some gross flesh oozing out. A few stitches, and probably no lifting for a week or two, because my hand's in a splint. Never would happened at Crossfit, because the bar would have dropped all the way to the ground. No chance for me to be stupid there!

Basically the idea of "the dark ages" is for people who unironically agree with this graph.
